Tour joke...!!

I came across this advert in the papers yesterday and I couldn't help but notice the tour prices advertised and price comparisons amongst some other famous tour destinations within Asia.

What got me quizzed is the tour price to Bali, a favourite destination amongst world travellers in Indonesia and Pulau Redang (Malaysia), a much quieter place in the South China Sea.

Bali is like four flight hours from Kuala Lumpur while Redang is 60 minutes away. But, the trip to Bali is only RM1,188.00 while to Redang is RM1,798.00.  

** USD1 = RM3.00

How is it a tour to Redang is more expensive then to Bali?  Opps...Bangkok is only RM988 and Siem Reap - RM1,388.00.

Inland tour operators in Malaysia should take the initiative to promote inland tours and make it more affordable than anything else but here it looks like after looking at the prices, it's a lot cheaper to fly to a foreign destination then to tour your own country.

H.I.S Travel (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd - could you care to explain?
